i'm not sure if it's intentional, but at least it's smart.
in a two vs. many engagement (medium/long range radar) it is better to have a rotating shooter than two at once this is a little counterintuitive maybe but it works out. what i mean is:
as long as:
range is long/medium
the first shooter has TWS/LDSD capability
the first shooter has enough missiles to engage a reasonable percentage of the target(s)
then it's better to have one guy move up at burn, shoot, crank, beamdive, full defense (if required) then have the second guy support by coming up to the line and doing the same. then, exploiting the opportunity granted by the pitbulled missiles they can then both withdraw at burn.
this scenario holds true almost no matter how many aircraft are engaged. simply replace planes with formations. the ideal is a "grinder" where no hostile aircraft can press the disengaging shooting element because of a re-engaging defending element. properly done it's a "deathstar" that nothing can approach.
obviously it doesn't always work out like that and the game might be separating the two elements too much, but the theory is sound enough. IMO my only problem with the game's handling of BVR is that aircraft don't crank enough.
